4 IMPROVEMENT m sPooN-MoLns.

m' Schedule referred to in these'Letters Patent 'and making part of the same To all whomjt may concern:

Be it known that we, LUTHER BOARDMAN aud- NORMAN S. BOARDMAN, of East Haddam, in the county of Middlesex and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and improved Mold for (lasting Spoons; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being. had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, inwhich- Figure .1 represents a face view of our improved mold for casting spoons.

Figure 2 is a tiansversesection of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention has for its object to reduce the expense of molds for casting spoons of britannia or other metal.

Such molds had heretofore to be specially prepared for every new design or'variation of design of the spoon-handle, and their expense .was consequently considerable. As the chief variation in the design is mostly in the handle, and frequently only on the face of the handle, we have found it necessary to renew the entire mold whenever a small change'took place.

Our invention consists, therefore, in-applying to the mold A aremovable section, B, which constitutes that part of the mold where the design is most frequently changed.

The sectionB is made of steel, or other suitable material, and is inserted in a recess provided for it in the main mold, so that it will fit flush into and form is placed into the mold, without requiring any change of the mold itself.

. Screws, a a, or other devices, serve to retain the plates. B in the molds, and permit their ready removal and replacement.

The invention is equally applicable to single and double molds, and to either or both cheeks or parts of each. w

Having thus described our invention,

We claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent..

The spoon-mold A, provided with the removable section B, substantially as and for the purpose herein shown and described. I
